@stupidlittlegenius: English can’t use X because Latin ‘borrowed’ it from Greek with no idea how to use it! It was so clueless, it couldn’t even make its own words! It had to borrow those too. In fact, every single X starting word is a foreign import!! Even Spanish thought X sound like Shh before switching to H. Maybe this is why no one can find X?! ##LearnOnTikTok##linguistics##englishlanguage##alphabet##etymology
I like the word xenon. It reminds me of Chernobyl. And I loved how the actor for Valery Legasov pronounced xenon in the HBO series.

In Portuguese, the letter "X" can have four different sounds: "CH" /ʃ/, "Z" /z/, "KS" /ks/, and "S" /s/; in some cases, it can even be completely silent! (And as a fun fact, we pronounce the "X" in "México" with the "CH" sound.)

We should make more words that start with X and make the X sound just for the fun of watching people struggle to make the sound

Hi! You're brilliant and fun (as always)! In Brasileiro Portuguese the X sounds as Sh or Z or our Ch with sounds the same as Sh. Xuxa is (shoosha), and the letter X has this name: xis (shees) 🌺
